I subscribe to every fashion magazine known to man. And it's now, in the dead of Winter that the fashion world starts brewing it's new crop of Spring/Summer trends. As a makeup artist, I thought it my duty to keep all of you ladies ahead of the curve! So, here's a few secrets to keep your makeup looking cool, all summer long!
- First, start with a great tinted moisturizer. It helps even out your skin tone, but it is still very natural and "sweat friendly".
- Gel blush is your new best friend! This stuff goes on and stays PUT! Dot a small amount on the apple (the fleshy part) of each cheek and BLEND.
- Metallics are very in Vogue this year, but they can REALLY emphasize wrinkles. Stay Safe and stick to a bronze powder. Dust it over your entire eyelid and lightly line under your eyes with an angled brush.
- Well-groomed eyebrows can completely change your face. Get the right shape, and they can make you look 10 years younger! Go to your favorite salon and get them waxed. Take with you a few magazine clips of brows you like (try to pick women that have your same shape face and coloring).
- Add some Individual eyelashes to give your look that "special something". They are much easier for the average woman to get right than a full strip of false eyelashes, and they look completely natural even up close. You can find them at any local beauty supply store for about $4. Follow up with a coat of mascara.
- Finish up your look with a good tinted lip-gloss. Lip-gloss gives everyone's lips extra volume, and amps up your natural lip color without looking like your trying too hard!
